The city lights will always lead me back to you.
HELENA DEGNThe city lights will always lead me back to you.
HELENA DEGNSummer came and summer went and I never saw your eyes again.
HELENA DEGNMaybe there’s a world out there where you and I find each other and it doesn’t end in burning flames or broken hearts.
HELENA DEGNMy body is covered in scars where silver blades kisses my skin and pretended to be love.
HELENA DEGNYou made a goddamn mess of me but watch me rise from the ashes.
HELENA DEGNI came into this world screaming. I plan to leave it quieter, softer and letting everything I’ve done do the talking.
HELENA DEGNI know fairytales aren’t real but being with you felt like one.
HELENA DEGNThere isn’t enough wine or vodka or tequila in this world to make me forget you.
HELENA DEGNLeaving was the hardest most liberating act of self preservation and self love I did.
HELENA DEGNIn a final Act of self preservation, I cut you out of my life.
HELENA DEGNI’m still learning that falling is supposed to be a two way street.
HELENA DEGNI may have forgiven you but forgiving myself is a much slower process.
HELENA DEGNI resent you for being okay when you broke me.
HELENA DEGNLoving myself is a skill I am still learning to master.
HELENA DEGNI stared into the face of death and death blinked first.
HELENA DEGNThis love is a game and, darling, the truth is we’ll both lose in the end.
HELENA DEGN
